伦敦论文代写 Paranormal Fact Fiction

Dead men tell no tales,” so the English Proverb tells us. However, many people have seen or heard the ghosts of these dead men. There has been a substantial debate for many years over paranormal phenomenon, whether it is true or false.

Research, Question and Hypothesis

“Are ghosts real, or just a figment of our imagination?” has always been very controversial question. After through investigation, we believe that this phenomenon does in fact exist.

Skeptics have always existed on the subject of paranormal phenomenon. Some tales of ghosts are thought to be legends, but the origins of these stories are rarely known to anyone. Most stories remain mysteries to just about everyone. People find some stories very hard to believe, therefore there are assumed to be false. Take for example, the story of Queen Anne Boleyn: “She is a headless specter that walks the Tower of London with her head tucked under her arm” (Cohen x intro).

On the other hand, some stories exist with facts to back them up. Facts like recordings, photographs, and other visual or audio aids. There are indeed, many differences in beliefs when it comes to this subject. A paradox exists on believing or not. These people that do believe in ghosts see them as a friendly presence. People, who do not believe, however, think of ghosts as a terrifying sight. They are “scared to death” to see one (Cohen ix intro).

Paranormal experiences are defined as those instances in which persons perceive phenomena that appear to defy scientific explanation (MacDonald 35).

Results

No matter what kind of stories are heard or told about paranormal phenomenon, there will always be some kind of proof that this material really does exist. Many stories have been told about ghosts that have estranged people. Most of these stories are told to scare. What people do not realize is there is an array of different phenomena. A typical ghost to most folks is one that makes noise and moves objects. This indeed, is a type of ghost. They are known as poltergeist. The word poltergeist actually means “noisy spirit” (Cohen x intro). A poltergeist lets itself be known by making strange noises, and moving objects. These ghosts are usually hostile and propose a threat to humans most of the time.

A crisis apparition is said to be a ghost of someone that has died or of someone who is in danger. Some say that when a distant relative or friend dies or is in

grave danger, the ghost of that someone will appear to them wanting help (Cohen x intro).

Just about every American or person for that matter has heard the story of the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. The Headless Horseman is a great example of an incomplete ghost. These ghosts are apparitions who are seen lacking limbs, head, ears, eyes, or other body parts. These ghosts return looking for their missing body parts (W. Haden Blackman 187).

“There are certain causes of mortal death that inevitably result in a spectral manifestation” (W. Haden Blackman 86). The top ten causes of ghost inducing deaths are as follows:

10. Poisoning: This is usually classified as an intentional consumption of

a lethal substance. A ghost returns to wallow in self-pity.

9. Starvation: What is basically deprivation of food. Most victims die a

lonely and lost death.

8. Disease: Victims usually die of an incurable sickness. Epidemics that

kill off small villages, give rise to a ghost that feels it has

been cheated of its earlier life.

7. Drowning: When a person drowns beneath the waves of the ocean,

a lake, or a river, usually come back as a “pale specter who

wanders the shores near the site of their demise” (W. Haden

Blackman 86).

6. Immolation: Or in other words, death by fire. People who suffer this

3. Shooting: This includes people who are killed by a single bullet, or

bleed to death after being shot numerous times. Ghosts are

normally those of police officers and gunfighters.

2.Stabbing: This is classified as a death caused by a sharp object.

“Some receive several blows form an axe or have their

brains punctured by a screwdriver or awl, resulting in

instant death” (W. Haden Blackman 87). The resulting

ghost may have “blood stained garments or the murder

still embedded in their bodies” (W. Haden Blackman 87)

1. Decapitation or dismemberment: These victims have lost extremities or

their heads as a result of battle, murder, or even a mishap

during an attempt to hang themselves. These ghosts come

back in search of their lost body parts. Headless ghosts are

always very violent and are willing to kill anyone to

achieve their goal (W. Haden Blackman 86-87).

Many people in the world today see paranormal phenomenon as being limited to just ghosts and hauntings. That is where the fault is, what people don’t see are the activities between the lines, for example, necromancy.
